The Disaster management department of Bihar has constituted flying squads, equipped with handheld mobile inspection and reporting system to independently monitor all flood relief camps operating in the flood-hit disctricts.
The system is already in use and more than 70 flood relief camps in Araria, Madhepura, Supaul and Saharsa were inspected in the first phase using the mobile system to assess the ground reality and ensure proper relief distribution.
The reports obtained using the system has helped tremendously in getting first hand information about the condition and material requirements of the relief camps.Additional secretary, Prataya Amrit said, the government teams are committed in the relief operations and the system would serve as an effective instant monitoring channel to provide inputs from each relief camp.
The mobile inspection system from Bizframe Technologies, a Bangalore based company is also being used by several other departments in the state to facilitate sending instant work reports from remote sites.
Bizframe has offered the disaster management department, free use of its mobile inspection software and servers and is working with private contributors to fund the procurement of mobile devices for this use, said Anupam Singh, Director of Bizframe Technologies.
